Early Morning Walk

(30 minutes before first light...)

"Chirp Chirp Tweet!"

"Wow, you're an early bird! Who's gonna get the worm? It's you!"

"I don't eat worms. I eat bugs!"

"No rush then."



Why is it - whenever I personify something, it has a contrary or sarcastic attitude? What does that say about me? Hey, that could be a useful direction for psychology, Personification Analysis.

Birds 3 | Mike 0

You might have read of my first adventure with Florida's Insane Avian Army (like the KISS Army, but not as friendly) - I avoided mentioning the fact that the day after the Hollow Bones episode, another bird felt it necessary to buzz me like I was the control tower and it was Maverick (a nicely dated Top Gun reference).

So now there are two trees I avoid when walking around the block. Fine, no worries.

Well today The Birds got me in my own home. I was taking a break from testing, and looking out the window. A very small and very cute bird was doing his cute thing, bobbing his head and hopping around. He seemed to be very animated, almost as if he were dancing around with another bird that I couldn't quite see...

So I backed up another two feet, so I could get a better view - knocking over a stack of boxes.

Well played, you little feathered fiends. Well played. In the immortal words of Bugs Bunny: "Of course you realize, this means war."
